History Main / Gonk

** Speaking of the royal brats in question, it'd seem male Celestial Dragons are generally varying degrees of ugly (when not related to [[spoiler:Doflamingo]]), going from "homely guy you'd meet in real life" to "disgusting". Either the creators of the world weren't nearly as perfect as some say or all the royal excesses have done a number on their faces.

** There's also obese [[McNinja Texan ninja Earthquake]], and then there's Kusaregedou, who's uglier than Gen-An and Earthquake combined.combined, which is to be expected seeing that he's a Gaki, a type of spirit that's [[HorrorHunger cursed to be eternally hungry for the things they did when they were alive, which in his case was, you guessed it, cannibalism.]] Fittingly enough, he was also designed to be a combination of the above 2 characters.

Not to be confused with a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonk popular 60s and 70s toy.]] They fall in [[UglyCute a better category]]. Nor is this to be confused with the Gonk and Geefle from ''Series/SesameStreet''. Or the [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Power_droid power droids]] from ''Franchise/StarWars''. Or a piece of stock music that was best used in ''Film/DawnOfTheDead''.

** Mario himself was a gonk in *very* early promotional artwork of the original arcade version of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'', [[ProgressivelyPrettier his design has long since evolved into something much cuter.]]

* From ''SuperMarioBros'', we have [[FatBastard Wario]] and [[LeanAndMean Waluigi]]: with their [[GagNose big pink noses]], wicked mustaches, exaggerated bodily proportions, and perma grimaces; they resemble caricatures of [[OddballDoppelganger Mario and Luigi]] more than anything. However that's part of their charm.

** The Gerudo tribe is known to have rather good-looking members, also including the [[BigBad Great King of Evil himself]]. But then we have Koume and Kotake, a [[WickedWitch wicked]] pair of old twin sisters whose proportions are very exaggerated compared to the rest of the race. This changes in the 2nd half of their boss fight where [[FusionDance they combine]] and become a hotter and sexier version of themselves.

** The doctor in Castle Town. He looks like the elderly arthritic love child of Moleman from TheSimpsons and a goblin. Actually, come to think of it, the ''actual in game goblins aren't as ugly as he is.''

* Give the LetsPlay/FreelanceAstronauts access to a character creator and they'll make [[LegacyCharacter another horrifying incarnation]] of Dongs "REO" Speedwagon. In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' she was a crone-like, green-faced, blue-haired dark elf with butterfly wings and a penchant for bludgeoning people to death with a fish. In ''[[SaintsRow Saints Row 2]]'' she was an obese, slack-jawed, blue-haired woman with poor posture and [[LarynxDissonance a man's voice]] who was so disturbing that Maxwell scrapped her for Gangsta Link. And now in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' we have Dongs Shepard, with a man's head on a woman's body and something ''seriously'' wrong with her neck.
